Bug#217686: xmountains: Needs recompilation with new vroot.h (flickers w/ xinerama under xscreensaver)
Package: xmountains
Version: 2.6-6
Severity: normal
xscreensaver 4.13 introduced a new version of vroot.h which allows
multiple hacks on the multiple displays on a Xinerama setup. The
changelog entry from vroot.h (in the xscreensaver package) looks
like this:
* Jamie Zawinski <jwz@jwz.org>, 3-Sep-2003
* - if the environment variable "XSCREENSAVER_WINDOW" is set, use that
* as the root window instead of searching for __SWM_VROOT.
You should update xmountains's 'vroot.h' with the latest
one from xscreensaver and recompile.
Otherwise xmountains tries to start up in the wrong window when run under
xscreensaver on xinerama setups, often leading to two hacks fighting for
the same window. Not pretty.
